I really want to strangle everyone with nail-spiked gloves that decides to use atrocious photoshopped garbage like this for the cover of the bd/dvd instead of one of the posters used for the theatrical release which is always 9999x better.

Yeah also why the hell did they change the font to that generic one? The 80s-style font is one of the most distinctive aspects of the poster and the opening credits. I swear the idiots that make the decisions for the cover art for the home release are from the bizarro planet.

Obviously the people that made this movie have no control over the cover art, that is horrendous! Pete Hammond has zero credibility why replace a New York Times quote...even Pete Travers (Rolling Stone) would be better, he just called it his favourite film of the year.

I never seen this film, but I made my dad see it and he said it was one of the worst films he has ever seen. He said that the main charcter hardly said anything in the movie and that there wasn't even that much driving. Me, on the other hand, really want to watch this movie. Ryan Gosling is one of the best actors of our generation and I agree with almost everything that movie critic Peter Travers says. Maybe I'll rent. The artwork is terrible.

No I'm not saying its pretentious because its artsy. It's pretentious because people are making it out to be this unbelievably incredible film when it its not that original. The film was very dull in my point of view and way too unrealistic. Ryan Gosling wasn't that great. He was definitely good and carried the film nicely but not Oscar-worthy. The soundtrack is effing amazing! That deserves the Oscar.

Why is it that when a film is artsy it's automatically labeled pretentious?

One of the best films of the year for sure. I LOVED it. Ryan Gosling is AMAZING and deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance. This deserves several nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress (Carey Mulligan). Can't wait to buy it.

And I agree with everyone on the soundtrack. It's fantastic. The film isn't for everyone though. WOM among mainstream viewers who expected an action film was toxic. I've been trying to prepare my friends who want to see it for what kind of film it actually is because I know they'll hate it otherwise. They were expecting an action film from the ads and title.

I haven't seen ATTACK THE BLOCK yet but DRIVE and HANNA are two of my very favorites this year too, along with 50/50 and BRIDESMAIDS.

Hilariously enough it's Mistral the same font used for the TV show Silk Stalkings!

I dl the sundance/cannes/oscars/golden globes dvd screener of this from piratebay and ive watched it 7 times since then in addition to seeing it at the independent films theater near me where I also saw tree of life. I will def pick this up on blu-ray as well!

I f**ked up and missed this in theaters. Something came up every time I meant to see it, so I'm very much looking forward to this release, and keeping my eyes peeled for a review copy (haven't heard anything yet).

Love this movie, one of the best of the year. The reason its slower at the start is so it can develop its characters so that when the action does come we care. I recomend everyone to see it but I question the replay value. It's well worth seeing at least once
